saba simba was just smh

Bruce Prichard can try to explain, deflect, and juelz his way through everything Vince did, but the bottom line is that character was all Vince.
Vince loved to bring guys in and humiliate them with these trash gimmicks.
That's what Vince thought an "African warrior" was supposed to be, dancing to the ring, big over the top props, barefoot.
He could never just bring in a wrestler and let them be them, sh*t was crazy, smh.

I think some others were better but at least Atlas didn't die. Some of the undisputed ones usually end with a dead wrestler or a retrospective on an extreme wrestler or promotion. FMW's for example was really good, but I have no appetite to watch it again.

Halfway through this episode I was wondering if they were gonna leave out a bunch of stuff, but they managed to get everything in without rushing it.

EDIT: found the True Life episode I mentioned earlier

One of the best episodes of MTV True Life.

I've always enjoyed listening to Tony's interviews because his story never changes, never, not once. Always puts it all out there even if it embarrasses him.

I thought it was a great episode.

I've actually liked this whole season, except the "Hell In A Cell" one that's been done to death.

Tony deserves to get his flowers.

I can only imagine that he's taken so much bullshyt from CACs during the '70s & '80s.

That's why I try to give old dudes the benefit of the doubt, a lot of them c00n because they were literally broken by racism & c00ning's the only way they learned how to deal with the pain.

Watching now, you aint lying...racism broke him down so much breh basically normalized it when explaining shyt he going through

Damn, wrapped the episode up

Having to wrestle keep stay afloat at his age is brutal. Someone toss this man a check
